Mother was founded in London in by a group of creative, free-thinking individuals sitting around a kitchen table eating lunch. To be free to do the best work possible, and not have to answer to any private equity firms, holding companies or indeed any other tentacle of the grotesquely swollen octopus of global capital. Today, Mother is still fiercely independent, but now there are over like-minded people in our family, with offices across London, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai and the oddly Shoreditch-based continent of South America. All with kitchen tables in them.
